Abstract


 


 


“Reprotech,” the language of the new reproductive technologies, helps to construct a context for reproductive technology that both softens its reality and redefines women as fragmented body parts and children as products. This literature review explored the issues underlying the use of technology in reproduction and its impact to the prenatal development of infants. This literature review also analyzed the Impact of Genetics, Heredity, and Environmental Factors to Prenatal Development. Hopefully, this study will provide sufficient knowledge and contribute information regarding reproductive technology and prenatal development to other researchers and students.


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Reproductive Technology


 


            Almost 3 million births in the United States are the result of technological conception (Bleiklie: 2003). Reproductive technology is sufficient when contraception, abortion, and prenatal screening are factored in. Prenatal screening, for instance, will become routine in most cases of coital conception, and non-coital means will take over some areas of coital reproduction. There were efforts from the government to prevent prenatal harm to offspring or to discourage irresponsible reproduction may also increase the number of persons directly, affected as will new contraceptive and abortion techniques. Although, reproductive technologies give choices for real benefit, they also give problems, from fees to the worries of laboratory conception and the utilization of gamete donors and substitutes to build families. These options will disclose against a setting of state and private regulatory policies, which persuade, restrain, or forbid use of these technologies.


 


 


 


The Impact of Genetics, Heredity, and Environmental Factors to Prenatal Development


 


            According to the study of Pinker (2004), traits are distinguished by the complex interaction of genotype and environment; this makes it possible to assess the heritability.  But, some non-scientists, believes that some percentage heritability is non-interactional but preserves contributions of genes and environment to the trait. Most people think that traits are made up of two components, genes and environment and both nurture and nature. However, another research said that intermediate heritabilities, a trait is usually mould by both genetic natures and the environments in which people grow, just with better and smaller plasticities related with these heritability assessments (Plomin ET. Al.:2004).


 


            Recent trend in the field of biology questions the belief that only genes can identify a trait because genes are never enough in segregation (Plomin ET. Al.:2001). The study explains that DNA acts together in compound manners with indications from other genes and from the environment (Ridley: 2003). There are specific genes that manipulate the progress of a trait in the contest of a specific environment. Therefore, assessments of the amount to which trait is influenced by genes next to environment will depend on the particular environment and genes measured. It has been proven that genes may have enough role, as well as psychological traits such as brains and character. However, these traits are greatly influenced by environment in other situation.
